Several WAMP problems

    I've been using WAMPserver to run php scripts locally on my machine for the last couple of months with no problem. It was good because i didn't have to get into the nitty gritty of setting paths and all that. Now, i need to use PEAR. Several problems have arisen from this. I completed the PEAR installation successfully by using the go-pear.php file, but now i need to install an additional package(HTTP Request), and have no idea how to do it. The website says to do it from the shell window, but i don't know how to access that. How do you do this, or if theres an easier way to install packages that doesn't involve unix?

    Secondly, i discovered that i needed additional packages after i first tried to run my script. I got an error saying
    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'HTTP/Request.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear')

    which i thought strange because my php directory isn't located there, its in c:\wamp\php, and WAMP generally fixes all of that when it installs. I can't find where to change the include_path either, as both php.ini files(in the apache and php directories) don't have that line pointing to either directory. Yet when i run phpinfo(), the include_path is definitely the one mentioned above.

    On Windows "shell window" == "Command Prompt"
    Start/Run/cmd or Start/All Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt

    Looking at the Command line installer page it looks like you'd just enter: 
    pear install HTTP_Request

    Are you sure? I'm thinking of something more specific. Like for the SQL section, it has its own unix shell window. Plus, when i try the commands from the dos command, it doesn't recognise them.

    I'm not sure as I've never installed anything with 'pear'.
    You said that the WAMP installation is in c:\wamp\php. Maybe the 'pear.bat' file is in there somewhere. Maybe search your drive for pear* and then specify that directory when invoking pear.
